I am a huge fan of The Apprentice and of The Donald {Donny I'll refer to him as I review this game} And so when I first heard about this game I just had to have it and so when my mom first installed the game and when I played it for the first time Donny's soothing voice just sent me to heaven and just playing the instructions over and over made me almost wet myself just to hear his soothing voice. What I loved about this game is that whenever you buy your property building in your empty lot it automatically builds it for you. Just makes me wish The Sims had this option too LOL. The only things I wish the game had is an option to take out a loan for more money rather than just wasting the money you have and to have Donny offer you hints to help you out. If you have the chance Please Elise do yourself a favor by buying this game and support The Donald,
Thanks so much for creating this game and helping your fans like your game as much as your show Mr Trump,
Your fan and biggest crush Dasani

Look out too for the way you can earn more - i think it is a glitch - but it does help your bottom line

Just occasionally you can earn extra for a property - but only occasionally. I still have to work out WHY it happens - but just occasionally i get the property set for a particular rent and it doubles the rent i receive for that property. I love it when it happens - perhaps it is an attempt to show that some suckers will pay more to rent a property than it is really worth. But it does assist your income stats when this glitch occurs.

A FUN EVENT!

Hey not many people I know watch the apprentice but pretty soon everybody I know will play the computer game of it! It totally rocks! You have to try it. Donald Trump is amazing. I love the game. And I got it from amazon for a really cheap price. Amazon has the cheapest prices you could imagine.

Just a taste of what Im looking for...

Decent first attempt at making a game that models the complexity of Real Estate. Being involved in Real Estate Development, I thought this game would be an interesting go, and it was for about the first week. It takes you through acquisition, renovations, renting and selling condos, shops and office space. One thing the game lacks is appropritate "Marketing Analysis" (ie. you cant tell what service is needed in which areas) so your really just going through the game, successfully, with no reason why. Its a good first attempt to capture the market, but lacks in depth. Trump put his 2 cents in however, Activision really slacked with the gameplay...poor audio, map control, zoom levels, statistcal modeling, etc. However, if you are interested in Real Estate and have $..., this is probably worth its money, it may be the only chance you ever have to compete with Trump!

Where did the tutorials go?

I played the game through all levels of the tutorials and advanced to 'one-on-one' with D. Trump... I did okay. Then I didn't play the game for while and when I went to play it again and get a refresher from the tutorials they were "GONE"! Now the game will not play at all...... No help from the 'Website' either.. That is just an order site only. So I would not buy this again.

You gotta be kidding!

This game was nothing of what I thought it would be. I got into the second mission and thought, "Is this it?" From what I can tell, there is only 5 missions. I couldn't take anymore past the second mission.

You can't scroll around like in SimCity, Restaurant Empire, etc. It just very one dimensional. If you are looking for a game that doesn't have all the bells and whistles, then this is the game for you.

Stick with SimCity or Capitalism 2

I was thinking "SimCity helped me learn about real estate and land use in a fun way, so maybe this game might help me learn something." This game has no educational value. But more importantly, it wasn't even fun.

Okay, maybe it was fun for about an hour as I learned my way around the game. But that was mostly anticipation. I then realized that I'd seen all there was to see. Don't waste your time. This game is simplistic and has no depth whatsoever. SimCity is still the best real estate game around, even if it is only in a roundabout sort of way. If you want a good, educational business game, try Capitalism 2. Good tutorials and an actual understanding of how businesses run. If you want a fun business game, there are plenty of other tycoon games that have to be better than this.

Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon is a ok game. kinda hard to figure out.hardly any instruction manual comes with the game only to tell you how to install the game. The game is partly confusing Activision could come up with a better way to make the game more simple. I been a Fan of Trump's for awhile.
The gameplay is ok once you figure out how to play.
I really didnt like the game that much because it was too complicated and time crawled in the game it could of went faster.
